Popping and Crackling sound in full screen mode

[Guest]

Hi, I have a Asus PIII 800 with a Geforce2 mx400, Sondblaster PCI card. 655Mb Ram. All hardware has the very latest drivers possible and I have tried Directx8 and 8.1. Now my problem is with a clean new fresh install of FS2002 I have a very bad popping and crackling sound in the cockpit view. This only seems to happen in full screen mode and it seems to be when the wav files are looping. I have tried everything (even switching sound cards) I can so I leave it up to the experts...YOU! I am leaning to the Geforce2 mx400 card? any help would be very much appreciated.Thanks in advance.Phil

Try turning down your Hardware Sound Acceleration in DXDiag. I would start by turning it nearly all the way down, and then slowly bumping it back up until you hear the "crackling" again.Ryan-Flightpro08 :-cool VATSIM Pilot/ControllerZLA ARTCC Senior Controller (C-3)SAN TRACON Lead [link:www.taxiwaysigns.com|Taxiwaysigns.com] Scenery Designer-----------------------------My "Home Made" System Specs:Intel Pentium 4 2.2GHz ProcessorTurbo Gamer ATX Mid-Tower with 420W Power SupplyEPoX 4G4A Motherboard with Intel 845G ChipsetVisiontek XTASY GeForce4 128MB Ti4600 (Det 30.30 Drivers)512MB PC2100 DDR RAM40GB Matrox 7200RPM Hard DriveWindows XP Home Edition SP1*No CPU or GPU Overclocking*3dMark2001SE Score: 11298-----------------------------Click [link:ftp.avsim.com/library/esearch.php?DLID=&Name=&FileName=&Author=Ryan+Fretwell&CatID=Root]Here to Download my New American Eagle POSKY CRJ-200!

In addition to the other (good) advice, check your sound settings in FS, and make sure sound quality is maxed....-John
